Decided March 14, 1904
193 U.S. 411

APPEAL FROM AND ERRO TO THE COURT OF
APPEALS FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

Courts do not incline to regard a will as conditional where it reasonably can be held that the testator was merely expressing his inducement to make it, although his language, if strictly construed, would express a condition.

The facts are stated in the opinion of the Court.
